Trending In Our News Feeds – Egyptian army gives ultimatum to President Morsi. The Egyptian army issued a 48-hour ultimatum to President Mohamed Morsi on Monday, in a move that encouraged the 14 million protesters demanding a new government. General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said in a statement the army would create a “road map” to democratically guide Egypt if Morsi does not cooperate with protesters. Morsi’s administration worried the army’s demand would “cause confusion in the complex national environment.” International leaders have also begun pressuring Morsi to engage with protesters. The UN human rights office told Morsi to enter into a “serious national dialogue,” and President Obama encouraged Morsi to respond to the protests. The New York Times has a great profile of the millennial activists who started the Tarod protest movement.

Snowden accuses Obama of political bullying. NSA leaker Edward Snowden issued a statement via WikiLeaks yesterday, breaking eight days of silence since he arrived in Russia. Snowden accuses President Obama of using political tactics to silence whistleblowers. Here are some of the most important quotes from the statement:

On the tactics used by the Obama administration: “These are the old, bad tools of political aggression. Their purpose is to frighten, not me, but those who would come after me.”

On the power of an informed public: “In the end the Obama administration is not afraid of whistleblowers like me, Bradley Manning or Thomas Drake. We are stateless, imprisoned, or powerless. No, the Obama administration is afraid of you. It is afraid of an informed, angry public demanding the constitutional government it was promised — and it should be.”

Meanwhile, Snowden continues to search for a country that will grant him asylum. The BBCreports Snowden submitted requests to 21 countries, but has already been denied by 10. Snowden withdrew his request from Russia after Putin said he would have to stop leaking U.S. intelligence.
